US University Admissions Prep: SAT tutoring, essay writing, interviewing

I specialize in tutoring and consulting related to the US university admissions process. This includes SAT and SAT II prep, essay writing, interviewing tips, and helping you create a compelling narrative to send to US universities. I was admitted into Harvard, Yale, MIT, Dartmouth, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and a few others, and have been tutoring people of all ages.

I know this process can be daunting, but I truly believe every student has a unique and amazing story to share. I am committed to helping the applicant shine in all areas of the admissions process, and to help them feel more at ease during it.

Academic Writing and Public Speaking in English, Test Preparation, Study Skills
Being able to communicate properly orally and in writing are some essential skills that are useful for many aspects of life. Academically, it is necessary to write essays or reports in a certain way to respect the different codes of academic writing. By doing this, it would allow you to reach higher level with your writing skills and to get good grades. This applies as well to public speaking. I can also help you proofreading and advise you on your study skills. I had 2:1 for my honours bachelor’s degree and I have just finished my master’s degree at London School of Economics and Political Sciences. My studies allowed me to learn how to properly write essays, reports, journal articles, as well as speaking in front of crowds for various presentations. I believe that my experience and expertise will help you to achieve your goals.
